Samantha Vinograd

Currently CNN National Security Analyst and a Senior Advisor at the Biden Institute, Vinograd has spent her career analyzing and communicating complex national security and global economic policy issues. She started her career deployed to Iraq and later worked in the UAE and Saudi Arabia for the U.S. Department of the Treasury – an experience that gave her first-hand experiences with global economic policy and counter-terrorism.

Later at the White House, she was entrusted to prioritize national security issues for the National Security Advisor, develop deep subject matter knowledge including national security, energy, and international economics, while maintaining networks at the most senior levels within the U.S. government and around the world. Her private sector experience includes being the co-founder of Global Opportunity Advisors, as well as previous stints at Goldman Sachs and  as the Public Policy Lead at Stripe, an online payment processing company.

In addition to speaking to diverse audiences on national security and economic policy, Vinograd – the daughter of a Holocaust survivor — also devotes her time to speaking about combating antisemitism around the world.
